Artist Godfrey Nyamararo with "Rhino in Progress" Shona Sculpture

A rare "behind-the-scenes" look at the creation of a Shona stone sculpture by artist Godfrey Nyamararo. The image shows a large-scale rhinoceros beginning to take shape from a block of raw Zimbabwean stone. The rough-hewn textures and visible chisel marks illustrate the labor-intensive direct carving process at the workshop in Bapsfontein. This documentary-style photograph provides essential context for the contemporary Shona art movement and its connection to the Guthrie family's Chapungu gallery heritage.
